What Are the New Frontiers?
7. I& this the end? Has civilization as we know it come to
a elose- and are the great cycles of time, turning as relentlessly as the tides of the ocean, about to swing into new orbits?'Are the frontiers closed to us? Is there no future?
No—the only frontiers that have been crossed are those
of geography. The frontiers of the mind, of research and
Idiowledge, are virgin wilderness, marked only by the footpaths of those intrepid adventurers who dared to think
. ahead. Never .before has there been such an opportunity to
learn. There were never so many things to study, so much
to be found out. Every day discoveries are made beside
which the conquests of Columbus or the ancient voyagers
pale into insignificance. Each adventure in knowledge, each
new discovery paves the' way for others far more important
to mankind—for each rests upon a broader, firmer base—
and offers far greater possibilities to the next inquiring
mind.
But Youth says—"We want to get ahead—to make a
living. WE haven't the opportunities to carve out a life for
ourselves that the pioneers had."
Haven't the opportunity? With our three dimensional
lives opening up new trades, new professions, new types of
work—or new ways to improve old ones? There are not the
same opportunities—and there are no easy jobs—but the
pioneers to which they so glibly refer did notv have easy
lives and their work was not that to which they were accustomed. They had to learn., Youth today has the opportunity
of going, on from where the previous generation left off, -with
the same initiative, resourcefulness and adaptability. They
can "go further because of the efforts of those who preceded
them:
.Man's opportunity is limited only by man's knowledge
and;,his ability to utilize his experience. There,is always a
place in the world for "the learning individual—-"he "wiirj
thinks—who wants to give his best and to make his work
the Jfee&ns of helping others.
,Tlie, frontiers are not closed. Beyond them lies a challenge to stir the courageous in heart and spirit—a challenge
to do and dare, and to find out!
Will Germany Split Apart?
Early in the war the British and French had great
hopes of what could be accomplished by propaganda. They
sent' flocks of aviators over Germany to drop pamphlets urging the, German people, to overthrow Nazi rule. Apparently
thisjforni of attack.accomplished little. The German people
were, told that this propaganda was all lies, and they were
gullible enough to believe it.
,The hope -is still entertained by many that the German
people will get disgusted with the war, and will rebel violently against the losses they are sustaining and will finally
throw put Hitler and his crowd and submit to reasonable
peace terms. They would save themselves great distress if
they wd*uld do so.
- ,Xhey are told that they were tricked and deceived when
tiliey laid down their guns "in 1918. It was said that the allied
leaders promised them a peace of reconciliation and friendship, based on President Wilson's fourteen points. These
promises, it is claimed, were not fulfilled. The Nazis further
claim that if the Germans give up now, they will.have to submit to an even more disastrous settlement.
ft,is unfortunate that after the World war England and
France .did nbt adhere more closely to the understandings
on which peace was secured. If the Germans had won that
Avar "they would have imposed,far. more severe terms on their
beaten foes. Anyway the Germans feel they either have to
win the "war or else be crushed to earth. So they fight with
a terrible determination. They are like a man who holds a
mad bull by the horns. He may not be able to hold on, but
he. dares not let go.
*-_. The,Nazi government has treated the conquered countries,, with, such atrocious cruelty that it may well fear what
will.happen if it surrenders. So it seems doubtful if anything
less' than severe military defeat will lead those Germans to
quit. When the war ends, it is hard to see how permanent
peace can come unless there is an attempt on the part of the
victors, whoever thejr are, to produce a genuine reconciliation.
Pooling Their Brains
We've heard a lot about shortages in the defense pro-
..gram. Silk, copper, aluminum—the list is growing. But we
haven't heard much about the greatest shortage of all—the
shortage of facts. Facts about" taxes, strikes, priorities, price
control and other vital problems affecting business in the
inidst of the greatest upheaval in the history of private enterprise. America must Have such facts. That's the only way
we can solve the complex problems ahead.
The Congress of American Industry being held in New-
York next week by the National Association of Manufacturers will be a big step toward passing the facts on to the na-
tidn's industrialists, large and small. Men in the know about
current business problems are going to get together and
thrash them out. They have a big job ahead of them, but
t»e fact,that they're pooling their knowledge and experience
in this congress indicates their determination to solve their
, difficulties with speed and accuracy.

North Canton Wins State Defense Stamp Contest
Fifty-Six Students Earn Scholastic
Honor in Second Grading Period
Senior Class Members Keep Up High Class Work Record Regardless of Increasing School Activities
North Canton-high school students are getting down to
their daily studies with a seriousness that reflects the spirit
of the times.
With the releasing of grades for the second six weeks
grading period which ended at Thanksgiving time, 56 boys
and girls in the upper six grades were given recognition as
honor students for the excellent work they have been doing
in the classroom.
Some of them, carrying more
than the number of courses required of them, still maintained
high averages and others, with all
but one grade over the 90 maik,
are also included in the honor roll.
Unlike many senior classes which
have gone before them, the present class continues to place a large
number on the roll, even though
class activities may take more time
away from their studies.
In the senior class, Phyllis
Groom, carrying six credit subjects, received grades of more than
90 in all of them while Glenn Golloway, Virginia Lesh, Karl and
Kenneth Schug, carrying five cre*dit
subjects, also received all grades
above 90. David Fry and Evelyn
Metzger, also members of the senior class, carrying five credit sub
jects, received four grades over 90
and one each in the SO's. Ruth
Frye and Richard Claypool.carrying the regular number of classes
received all grades above 90 and
Del Schlemmer received all but one
of his grades with marks above 90.
Only three members of the junior class achieved a place on the
honor roll. They were Barbara
Curry with all grades above 90,
Doris Day with all except one
grade above 90 and Elve Keith,
carrying five subjects, who received
four grades above 90 and one 89.
Six members of the sophomore
class, all of them carrying five
subjects, received four grades
above 90 and the other in the SO's.
They were Patty Bernard, David
Gibler, Jean King, Gene Shook
Jeanne Smith and Alice Wise. De-
lores Kintz, carrying five subjects,
had grades above 90 in all of them

above 90. They were Richard

Send Mail Early,
Postoffice Warns
With the beginning of December
and the very,first indication of the
annual Christinas rush at postof-
fices, postmasters throughout the
country are urging their patrons
to get their letters and-packages
into the mail at the earliest possible moment.
Due to the fact that there may
be heavy use made of the railroads
in .transporting troop movements
of soldiers home for the holidays,
it is possible that there will be less
facilities than in previous years in
handling Christmas mail. This,
coupled with the fact that there is
expected to be heavier mail than
ever before, all persons are urged
to get their parcels and cards into
the mail at once'if they must travel
any distance, and the earlier the
other Christmas greetings are sent
out, the better.

picture of the Goddess of Liberty
poitrayed by Jean Masline, holding

sain of Defense Bonds and Stamps.
